Events in Cornwall

Events for all the family can be found around Cornwall throughout the calendar year. In Summer, the Gorsedd and a host of other Cornish festivals take place, with regattas and surfing events for the water-lovers. Whilst quieter in the winter months, Cornwall also provides spectacular Christmas light shows around the coast.

Eden Project

This massive project to create huge biomes housing the plants of the world in a disused china clay pit at Bodelva Quarry, near St. Austell opened in March 2001. The Eden Project has become a major tourist attraction and the concept has gone from strength to strength. Eden welcomed over two million visitors in its first year and has exceeded 1.2 million visitors every year since then. The site is constantly evolving and there is always something new to see.
